MCCams

MCCams is a lightweight Forge mod that lets you stream in-game camera views to a live web dashboard. Instead of complex GUIs, the mod is fully controlled through commands, making it simple, flexible, and server-friendly.

You can register cameras, manage visibility, and stream frames directly to an external website for remote viewing.

Website Dashboard: https://minecraftcameras.onrender.com/

Features: - Command-based camera system (no GUI required) - Live camera streaming to a web dashboard - Multiple camera support per world - Public and private visibility controls - Share-code access system for restricted viewing - Multiplayer-friendly design

Configuration: After the first run, a config file is generated at: config/worldcameras-common.toml

Example settings: - websiteUrl: Base URL of the web dashboard - targetFps: Target streaming FPS - jpegQuality: Frame compression quality - maxUploadWidth: Maximum frame width - autoStreamOnClients: Enable automatic streaming

Core Commands: - /camera weburl <url> — Override the website URL for the session - /camera worldid — Display the world ID - /camera list — List all cameras in the world - /camera name <cameraId> <name> — Rename a camera - /camera stream start — Enable streaming - /camera stream stop — Disable streaming - /camera stream testframe <cameraId> — Send a test image - /setvisibility public — Make cameras visible on the website - /setvisibility private — Hide cameras - /setvisibility allowed — Restrict access via share codes - /camera allow create — Generate a share code - /camera allow revoke <codeId> — Revoke a share code

How It Works: 1. Place a camera in your world. 2. Use commands to register and manage it. 3. Start streaming with /camera stream start. 4. View your cameras in a browser using the web dashboard.

Use Cases: - Server monitoring and moderation - Base and area surveillance - Roleplay CCTV systems - Remote observation of farms or builds

Notes: - This mod requires the external web dashboard to view camera feeds. - No personal data is collected by the mod itself. - Proper server/network configuration may be required for multiplayer use.

Compatibility: - Minecraft 1.20.4 - Forge 49.2.4 - Java 17
